Keyloggers record your login information and send it to the programmer. They aren't really anything to be fearful of unless you have a WoW account or important email.

keyloggers dont do shit other than log keystrokes, anything else would defeat their purpose. if anything he might have dns blocking filter on his router

A good malware scan. Its not going to block him from getting into those services though, it would just note what he put in. Now, it would be possible for someone with malicious intent to then change his password, but that takes away the element of stealth. 
On a Mac? He seems to think that's what happened. Not sure why.
You never said it was a Mac. Its still possible. I just doubt it. Its possible he got duped into a phishing site, but its more likely that either caps lock is on, or hes just forgetting his password.

No, someone got his account most definitely. The little fucker logged on and when I said, "Hi?", he just wrote, "Hi." back. Then when I said, "How are you?" (because I knew by then that it wasn't my bf), he just wrote, "Bored, how are you?" then logged off because Yahoo! reset the password. But then a bit later, he got back in and changed it again. He has both of my bf's accounts and Yahoo! has had him on hold for about 15 minutes.  EDIT: Oh, and he has a Mac but Windows is installed on it. Post edited at 12:49 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 by Majo

Then there probably is some sort of Malware, or he fell victim to a phisher. Or someone used password reset. If he can still regain access using the password reset (after he cleans the computer rid of any malware) then he should change his password, and change his security questions. That would prevent someone from later regaining control.
